Li Mu strode up to Zhang Shan and asked, "What did you say?"
Zhang Shan was startled and murmured: "A girl with pure Yin body in our county died young..."
Li Mu swayed and felt like the world was spinning. Liu Hanyan beside him hurriedly supported him.
At this point, Yin Yang and Five Elements are complete.
Li Mu's predecessor was a pure Yang body.
Zhang Yuanwai has a body of gold.
Ren Yuan has the body of wood.
Zhang Wang's body is water-oriented.
Zhao Yong is the body of fire.
Wu Bo is an earth element.
The baby girl who died three months ago had a pure yin body.
The seven of them have different genders, different ages, different identities, and different causes of death. On the surface, they have no connection, but secretly they have gathered together the yin and yang and the five elements.
There was also the zombie disaster in Zhou County. Thousands of people died and a large number of living souls were accumulated.
Refining these souls using the Yin-Yang Five Elements Soul Refining Formation can give practitioners of the Dongxuan Realm a chance to transcend.
Li Mu's mood at this moment was difficult to describe in words. He opened his mouth, but no sound came out.
Dongxuan...
These two words were like a huge stone weighing on his heart.
Liu Hanyan held his hand tightly, raised her head and looked at him with a pale face.
Li Mu knew that any fear was useless. He took a deep breath, silently recited the Qingxin Jue, looked at Liu Hanyan, and said: "The pure yin is already there, no need to worry anymore, you can go home first."
Liu Hanyan knew that he could not help much, so he nodded and said, "You must pay attention to safety, I will wait for you at home."
She glanced at Li Mu one last time and turned to leave.
In the courtyard of the county government office, Zhang Shan and Li Si were chatting. Uncle Ma patted his thigh and sighed. Han Zhe waited to see Li Mu's excitement. Li Mu walked to the duty room and closed the door.
In a short period of time, he received a large amount of information, which he could not bear alone.
In this world, the only person he can trust, the most trustworthy person, is Li Qing.
Li Qing was sitting at the table, reading quietly. He looked up at Li Mu and asked, "Miss Liu is gone?"
"Let's go." Li Mu came over, looked at her, and reminded: "Boss, you took the book backwards."
Li Qing straightened the book calmly and asked, "What's the matter?"
Li Mu turned to that page of "The Record of Divine Miracles" and said, "Boss, look here."
Li Qing looked over, thought for a moment, looked at Li Mu, and asked, "Do you want to find a woman with a pure yin body to practice dual cultivation?"
Without waiting for Li Mu to answer, she frowned and said: "This is not allowed by the imperial court. Even if Zhang Shan and the others find a woman with a pure yin body, they can't tell you. Besides, even if they can find it, your age is not necessarily
suitable……"
What she was looking at was the part about yin and yang cultivation. Li Mu said helplessly: "It's not this sentence, it's the following sentence, the following sentence..."
Li Qing lowered his gaze and saw what was written in the book, "The five elements of yin and yang souls have the power of creation. If Dongxuan can gather them all, supplement them with the souls of thousands of living people, and refine them into oneself, there will be a chance of transcendence..."
"Are you worried about being taken away by evil cultivators?"
Li Qing glanced at him and said, "Don't worry, no one can know your physique without knowing your birth date..."
Li Mu put the files of Zhao Yong and others on the table in front of her and said: "Zhang Shan just found out that a pure yin baby girl died in Yangqiu County three months ago, and there was also a baby girl with a pure yin body in Zhou County.
The zombie disaster and Wu Bo’s death cannot all be coincidences..."
Li Qing looked at the files one by one, his face gradually became solemn, and said: "Yin and Yang, the five elements, only pure Yang is missing..."
After the words fell, she suddenly raised her head and looked at Li Mu.
A wry smile appeared on Li Mu's face and he said: "Not bad at all."
Li Qing stood up suddenly, and then a trace of doubt appeared on his face, and said: "If there are really evil cultivators who need the souls of Yin Yang and Five Elements, why are your three souls still there?"
Li Mu looked at her, took a deep breath, and said, "Now that things have happened, I can no longer hide some things from my boss."
Li Qing had a look of disbelief on his face: "Could it be that you..."
"That's right."
Li Mu nodded and said: "Originally, I was already dead, but my three souls were saved by a senior master. The senior saw that I was a pure Yang body, and said that I had a master-disciple relationship with him, so he taught me
He learned a lot of Taoist magical powers, and then he left in a hurry, saying that we would see him again in the future, and warned me not to reveal his identity..."
Li Qing breathed a sigh of relief,
She had doubted Li Mu. After he died once, his temperament suddenly changed drastically. From being timid and afraid of getting into trouble, he became responsible and responsible, and he also knew all kinds of magic.
magical powers and Taoism...
This change is like being taken away from someone.
However, they had already gone through numerous verifications a few months ago and had already ruled out this possibility.
Even the most advanced practitioners cannot completely control other people's bodies in such a short period of time, let alone avoid the detection of magic weapons. Although Li Mu's statement is bizarre, it is the only one that can explain it.
The reason for these changes in him.
At this moment, Li Mu's fake death, and after he woke up, suddenly understood those Taoist techniques and Dharma scriptures, all had reasonable explanations.
Some of the doubts that had always existed in Li Qing's mind were relieved.
Li Mu also quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Taking advantage of this opportunity to dispel the doubts in Li Qing's heart was his real purpose.
After all, a normal person would think there is something wrong with a person who has come back from the dead and suddenly knows so many Taoist and magical powers.
If they hadn't verified Li Mu's identity long ago, I'm afraid Li Mu would have been treated as an evil cultivator.
To this day, Li Mu still doesn't know what happened to him, but there is no doubt that the changes in him are much more advanced than being reborn...
Li Qing's attention returned to the matter itself, and he said extremely seriously: "This matter must be told to the county magistrate immediately..."
Li Mu thought for a while and asked: "Boss, is it possible that what is said in this book is false?"
Li Qing shook his head and said: "Even if the content of this book is false, but someone is using this book for layout, it cannot be false."
She looked at Li Mu and said worriedly: "If that person needs Chunyang's soul, he will definitely not let you go. He may come back..."
Li Mu knew very well that the person behind it had gotten everything he wanted. He sighed and said, "This matter is not something we can decide. We should report it to the county magistrate immediately..."
Yangqiu County is only a small county, and County Magistrate Zhang only has the third level of God Concentration cultivation level.
And those who are qualified to set up the Yin-Yang Five Elements Soul Refining Array are at least at the peak of Dongxuan.
The sixth realm of Dongxuan is one step away from truly entering the upper three realms. Let alone Magistrate Zhang, even the Magistrate of Beijun is like an ant in his eyes.
In the front hall of the county government office, Magistrate Zhang was drinking tea leisurely.
In the past few months, Yangqiu County has been very unstable, with murders happening one after another.
They are zombies and evil cultivators. Even one of the core disciples of the Fu Lu Sect has died. As a county magistrate, he is always on tenterhooks. Fortunately, in the past month, the county has been at peace and has not caused any trouble for him.
What a mess.
Without any great achievements, there is no hope for political achievements this year, but fortunately, no big mistakes have been made, and it will not be at the bottom of the thirteen counties in Beijun. At least it is much better than Zhou County.
There was a knock on the door outside the hall. Magistrate Zhang put down his teacup and said, "Come in."
Two figures walked in from outside. Magistrate Zhang looked up and asked, "Miss Qing, Li Mu, but what special physique did Zhang Shan, Li Si and the others find?"
Li Mu shook his head.
Magistrate Zhang sat up straight and said warily: "But another murder occurred in the county?"
Li Mu continued to shake his head.
County Magistrate Zhang breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the tea cup again, and said: "It's okay if there is no murder. What happened..."
Li Mu looked at his nervous look and thought of Magistrate Zhang's timidity. He coughed lightly and said, "Sir, why don't you sit down first..."
"What are you talking about!" Magistrate Zhang frowned, leaned back on his chair and said: "Are you scared to become my official? Who is this official? I have never seen what happened. What happened?
What's the matter, tell me!"
Li Mudao: "We have found some clues. It is very likely that an evil cultivator at the peak of Dongxuan collected the souls of Yin Yang and Five Elements in our county, and then drove zombies to massacre people in Zhou County to collect the souls.
Refining them and advancing to transcendence..."
puff……
Magistrate Zhang squirted out a sip of tea, dropped the teacup in his arms, and slipped from his chair to the ground.
His crotch was wet, and he didn't bother to wipe it off. He hurriedly got up from the ground and asked, "What did you say? Say it again?"
Li Mu put several case files on the table and said: "In the past six months, seven people with pure yin and pure yang bloodlines and five-element bodies in Yangqiu County have died due to various reasons.
, there is something fishy about it, we suspect that someone is manipulating it behind the scenes..."
Pure yin, pure yang, and the body of the five elements are all gathered together. You don't need to think about it, and you know what it means.
Magistrate Zhang laughed and said: "A coincidence, it must be a coincidence!"
Li Qing said solemnly: "Sir, there can't be so many coincidences. There must be someone behind these coincidences."
Magistrate Zhang pointed to several files and said: "Look, Zhang Wang died of illness. This was handled by the two of you. Zhao Yong and Ren Yuan were executed by me personally. Zhang Yuanwai was executed by him."
The zombie father bit him to death. As for Wu Bo, that’s even more nonsense. He was bitten to death by Feizong. What happened to Guandong Xuanxiexiu?”
Li Mu has sorted out the context of these things and explained: "Ren Yuan's case is full of strangeness. It seems that someone deliberately led him to practice, deliberately made him fall into evil ways, and used the hands of the yamen to obtain his soul. In this way,
Come on, even if Ren Yuan has a body of wood, no one will doubt him, and the death of Wu Bo and thousands of people in Zhou County is not accidental..."
Magistrate Zhang still didn't believe it and asked: "When the executioner slashed his soul, his soul was gone. How did the evil cultivator get his soul?"
Li Qingdao: "It is not difficult for Dongxuan practitioners to extract their souls before the executioner executes them."
Li Mu continued: "Ren Yuan and Zhang Yuanwai both had a legitimate reason for us to ignore their special physiques. Among them, the Feng Shui master who helped Zhang Yuanwai select a tomb and Ren Yuan's master must have
question……"
Thinking of the man in black robe, Li Mu had begun to wonder whether he and Su He had actually killed him that day when they merged.
Magistrate Zhang shook his head and asked: "What about pure yang and pure yin?"
Li Mudao: "Zhang Shan and Li Si just found out that three months ago, a pure yin baby girl died in Yangqiu County. Infant death is a very common thing. Her family did not report the case, and neither did the Yamen.
investigation."
Magistrate Zhang asked again: "Where is Chunyang?"
Li Mudao: "I am."
Magistrate Zhang suddenly took two steps back and asked in surprise: "Aren't you standing here properly?"
Li Mu looked at Magistrate Zhang and said: "A few months ago, there was an evil spirit who wanted to take my soul. I was lucky enough to survive. Although the three souls returned to the body, I lost the seven souls...
"
Magistrate Zhang slumped in his chair with a lifeless expression.
In fact, he believed it from the beginning, but he was unwilling to accept the facts.
For no apparent reason, he was targeted by an evil cultivator from the Dongxuan Realm. Within his jurisdiction, he set up such a huge chess game, treating everyone including him as pawns and letting them be manipulated...
He covered his face and said sadly: "What evil have I done? If he had known it, he would not have been this bad county magistrate in the first place. Whoever wants to be can be. There are no good things, and all bad things have happened to me."
…”
Li Mu looked at him helplessly and said, "Master Zhang, now is not the time to regret. We should think about what to do next..."
Magistrate Zhang took a deep breath, took his hands away from his face, his expression returned to solemnity, and his eyes became sharp.
He spread out these files and said: "So far, there are still several doubts about this case."
Magistrate Zhang first pointed to Zhao Yong's file and said: "Zhao Yong was favored by the county magistrate. For the sake of his future, he killed his fiancée Lin Wan and dumped her body in Bishui Bay. Later, Lin Wan turned into a wraith to take revenge. When you investigated the case, you learned
Lin Wan was wronged and after in-depth investigation, the subsequent case of Zhao Yong was discovered and he was beheaded at Caishikou. This case could not be man-made."
Li Mu nodded and said: "There is indeed no trace of other people's intervention in Zhao Yong's death."
Magistrate Zhang continued: "Let's assume that someone can take away the souls of the executioners before they kill them, but how does this person know that they have a special physique?"
Magistrate Zhang's question goes straight to the core, which is also what Li Mu is confused about.
He thought for a while and said: "In the Cave Mysterious Realm, one can observe stars and perform numerology. There may be some method that can calculate these. Of course, there is another possibility."
Magistrate Zhang asked: "Do you suspect there is a spy in the Yamen?"
The simplest and most direct way to know the birth dates and horoscopes of people in Yangqiu County is to check their household registration.
It is unlikely that there is a mole in the yamen. Including Li Mu, all the agents and yamen servants in the yamen are old people who have been in the county government for more than two years. Moreover, they do not have the right to enter the household to check the household registration.
.
"This possibility cannot be ruled out." Li Mu thought for a moment and said, "But it is also possible that he invaded the house, checked a large number of household registration files, became distracted, and became invisible. This is not a good thing for the Dongxuan monks.
Say, it should be very simple.”
After gathering the spirit, the soul can leave the body. There is a formation around the county government office. Ordinary spirits cannot break in, but they can never stop Dongxuan.
Magistrate Zhang thought for a while and said: "That's right. No one can see the household registration of the people except Lao Wang. Lao Wang has been in the yamen all his life. He will not have any problems with anyone..."
He finally looked at Li Mu and said, "You said you have a pure Yang body?"
Li Mu nodded.
Magistrate Zhang asked: "The soul of a pure Yang body is the most critical part of using this method, but your soul is still in your body, doesn't it mean that the evil cultivator failed to seize the soul?"
Li Mu had already explained this, saying: "When my soul was stolen, a senior happened to save me, and it was lucky that my soul returned to my body."
"Senior?" Magistrate Zhang asked suspiciously: "Which senior? What is his name?"
Li Mudao: "He said his name was Lao Tzu, and he not only saved me, but also taught me some magical techniques."
Magistrate Zhang frowned and said, "I?"
Li Mu corrected his pronunciation and said: "I."
Magistrate Zhang asked: "Can you prove it?"
Li Mu looked at Li Qing and said, "The boss can prove it."
Li Qing nodded and said: "We investigated a few months ago and found that Li Mu was not taken away from him, and he does know some magical techniques."
Magistrate Zhang moved his eyes away from Li Mu and no longer doubted that whether it was body snatching or possession, it was impossible to completely fit into another person's body in a short period of time. Even a practitioner of Dongxuan could not achieve perfect body grabbing.
, whether the body has been taken away can be checked with a simple magic weapon.
Magistrate Zhang touched the short beard on his chin and said: "So, he hasn't obtained the soul of a pure Yang body yet, and it is very likely that he will come back to you?"
Li Mu nodded and said, "But we can't rule out that he has found another pure Yang body."
Magistrate Zhang breathed a sigh of relief and said: "This matter is very involved. Don't reveal it yet. Investigate it secretly. Wait until the investigation is thorough before making a final decision."
He glanced at Li Mu and warned: "In addition, don't talk about your pure Yang body to everyone. Do you think you will live longer?"
Li Mu felt aggrieved: "I'm not doing this to handle the case..."
Magistrate Zhang waved his hand and said: "You two, start investigating a case immediately. I will give you three days to find out all the clues..."
After all, County Magistrate Zhang was still holding on to a bit of luck, and so was Li Mu.
As soon as he thought of a strong man at the peak of Dongxuan who had been secretly spying on him for the past few months, he felt a chill in his heart and his hair stood on end.
Li Qing looked at him and comforted him: "Don't worry, if there is really an evil cultivator in Dongxuan, the Fulu Sect will not just sit idly by and do nothing. They will definitely send the leaders of each peak down the mountain to eradicate it..."
Li Mulian has not even refined the seven souls, Dongxuan... This is a realm that he cannot even dream of.
Even if he and Su He merge, they will not be a match for Dongxuan Peak.
However, no matter how anxious and fearful you are, you still have to face what you should face.
Li Mu gathered his mood and said, "Let's investigate these cases first..."
The two of them did not waste any time. After leaving Magistrate Zhang, they went straight out of the county government office.
Han Zhe stood in the yard, watching the two people leaving, scratched his head, and murmured: "That's it?"
He originally thought that Li Mu bringing the woman back to the Yamen would be a hurdle for him to get over with Li Qing, but he never thought that they could act like nothing happened...
Han Zhe suddenly realized that he didn't understand women at all.
Or is Li Mu's method too clever and he can't imagine it?
After thinking about it, he walked up to Li Si and asked, "Tell me, how can I please women like Li Mu?"
Li Si looked at him and said, "First of all, you have to look as good-looking as him..."
Han Zhe frowned and said, "What if I'm not as good-looking as him?"
Li Si thought for a while and said, "Maybe you have a lot of money..."
"What if I don't have any money either?"
"hehe……"
…
After leaving the county government, the first place Li Mu and Li Qing went to was Wangjia Village in the west of the city.
After Zhang Wang died, her children were given to her brother to raise.
Looking back now, Li Mu and Li Qing saw Zhang Wang's soul dissipate with their own eyes, so how could they possibly suspect that there was another hidden reason behind her death.
There is no doubt that the dissipation of Zhang Wang's soul is not a real dissipation. All this was done for Li Mu and Li Qing to see.
The mastermind behind the scenes was so careful and so scheming that it was simply outrageous!
Zhang Wang's brother Wang Dong still remembered them. He walked to the yard with a baby in his arms and asked in confusion: "Why are the two adults here..."
Li Qing was not good at talking to others, so Li Mu took the initiative to step forward and asked: "The Yamen is reviewing the cases that happened this year recently. We want to know some details about your sister's matter."
Speaking of the Zhang family, Wang Dong looked sad and sighed: "My poor sister, not long after she got married, her husband ran away to become a monk. When she was still pregnant with the child, her parents-in-law also left. Poor sister."
She is running the house by herself, so her body will be exhausted. My damn brother-in-law, how can he be so cruel..."
Zhang Wang's experience is indeed pitiful, but this is not the focus of Li Mu and Li Qing.
He looked at Wang Dong and asked, "Has she always been in poor health?"
"It's never been good." Wang Dong nodded and said, "I advised her to remarry and find a new man to take care of her, but she refused. Hey, if I had known this, I would never have let her stay alone.
Zhang family..."
After walking out of Zhangjiacun, Li Mu looked melancholy.
At first glance, there is no doubt about Zhang Wang's death. An already frail woman took care of her children alone, became ill from overwork, and died at home. This is something that is in line with people's understanding. No one, including herself,
, none of them had any doubts about their own death.
Even if the Yamen found out that she had a water body, they would probably think it was a coincidence.
Only by connecting her death with these unrelated cases and combining it with "The Legend of the Gods" can we smell the extraordinary behind it.
A dignified Dongxuan practitioner who can form a false form, knows the time and stars, is one step away from entering the upper three realms, and can walk sideways across the ten continents, is so careful and cautious to the extreme, it is simply unbelievable.
Heavenly principles...
Li Mu couldn't help complaining and had to continue investigating.
The girl with pure yin body was born in Chenjiacun, not far from Wangjiacun.
At the entrance of Chenjia Village, Li Mu stopped a village woman and asked: "Sister, I would like to ask, whose family had a baby girl who died three months ago?"
The village woman raised her hand and said, "That house, that girl, is so pitiful..."
Li Mu and Li Qing found the house the woman pointed to and knocked on Chai Fei's door. After a while, footsteps sounded in the yard.
A woman opened the courtyard door and saw Li Mu and Li Qing in official uniforms. She was stunned for a moment and asked, "Two official servants, what's the matter?"
Li Mudao: "There is a case that requires your cooperation in the investigation."
The woman looked puzzled and asked, "What case?"
Li Mu apologized: "Sorry, although this may bring up your sadness, this case is of great importance and I hope you can answer truthfully."
The woman nodded and said, "I understand, please ask."
Li Mu and Li Qing walked to the yard, and another man and an old woman walked out of the house.
Li Mu looked at the woman and asked, "We would like to ask, how did your daughter die?"
A sad look appeared on the woman's face, and she whispered: "My poor daughter died of illness..."
From the woman's mouth, Li Mu learned that four months ago, the girl suffered from a disease. Her family had no money for treatment, so they only used some local herbs, but they had no effect. After a month of suffering, she died.
.
The girl's family just swept her body with grass, buried it in the backyard, and then reported it to the government office, and then the matter was over.
In this world, the survival rate of babies is not high. If one or two die in infancy, no one will delve into the reasons.
Li Mu sighed and said, "Another case without any doubts."
The death of the baby girl, viewed in isolation, is not suspicious.
But the biggest doubt is that all the yin-yang and five-element bodies in Yangqiu County died without any doubt within half a year.
Just as he was about to leave, Li Qing suddenly said: "Wait a minute."
Li Mu was stunned for a moment, looked at her, and asked, "Did the boss find anything?"
Li Qing took a few steps forward, looked at the old woman, and asked, "That girl didn't die of illness, did she?"
The old woman dodges her eyes, and the next moment, she raises her head and says: "You little girl, how can you talk? That money loser, didn't he die of illness or how could he die?"
A dim light flashed in Li Qing's eyes, the old woman's body trembled, and her expression gradually became dull.
Li Qing looked into her eyes and asked again: "How did she die?"
The old woman looked dull and murmured: "Yes, it was a fortune teller. The fortune teller said that she was a lone star from heaven and would kill her parents and relatives. I checked the book and it said the same thing, so I drugged her to death...
…”
In the courtyard, the man had a look of disbelief on his face and said in a trembling voice: "Mom, it's really you. It was you who killed my daughter..."
The woman's face was pale, her body was trembling, she came over in despair, grabbed the old woman's arm, and cried: "Give me back my child, give back my child..."
The old woman fell down at the sound and fell unconscious on the ground, unaware of her fate.
The dim light in Li Qing's eyes was gone, his face was as cold as frost, and he said in a cold voice: Foolish woman!"
Li Mu looked at Li Qing's hand holding the sword and hurriedly grabbed her wrist and said: "Boss, calm down. We will report this matter to the Yamen after we go back. Master Zhang will handle it..."
Although Li Mu also wanted to strike the old woman to death with a thunderbolt, she still had to be punished according to the laws of the Zhou Dynasty, and they did not have the power to use lynching.
Besides, they have more important things to do.
Li Mu looked at the lost woman and said, "Don't worry, the Yamen will definitely give you justice..."
When walking out of Chenjiacun, Li Mu gathered his mood, exhaled softly, and said: "Fortune teller..."
Like the Feng Shui master who selected the site for Mr. Zhang's tomb and Ren Yuan's master, the man in black, the fortune teller who came to Chenjiacun was also highly suspicious.
He didn't even need to do anything himself, just saying "Tiansha Lonely Star", he caused this pure yin girl to die early, and easily obtained her soul in a way that would not be suspected.
The person behind the scenes is not only extremely powerful and cautious in his actions, but he also plays with people's hearts to the extreme.
A cultivator at the peak of Dongxuan, in order not to attract attention, quietly collected the souls of Yin Yang and Five Elements, and actually took great pains to set up such a trap.
